Marine Mad-Caps
The Marine and Navy dance held
at Duncan Hall was a great suc
cess. The crowd was large but
dancing was plentiful. Jack Tea
garden was in the groove, but we
did expect a little more orchestra
for the price the Rec-Fund payed
Jack to appear. Girls were rather
plentiful thanks to the Corps Club
in Houston and other girl organi
zations in the near by towns. First
Sergeant Porter and Staff Ser
geant Marvin Taylor were both
present and had a very enjoyable
time. Staff Sergeant Marvin Tay
lor is a former graduate of this
Radio School, he was a student in
school with Company four. First
Sergeant Porter and Staff Ser
geant Taylor both returned re
cently from Guadalcanal and have
related some remarkable stories
of sacrifice and privation.
Sergeant Walden had a date
with another Sergeant—A Ser
geant Ann Fortune member of the
USMCWR now on recruiting duty
in Dallas and pouston. The best
looking Sergeant I have seen in a
“Coon’s age.” Miss Fortune wore
a white uniform that was a “knock
out”—Yes Sir, these Marine wo
men do alll right.—
Our Commanding Officer, Ma
rine Gunner J. W. Peden and his
wife were also present for the fes
tivities. Tech Sergeant “Rocky”
Davis and his wife were present
also and cutting a sweet bit of
rug—Sergeant Major William Fec-
cia was also seen enjoying him
self—And all in all every Marine
that attended the dance seemed to
be enjoying himself emensely. . . .
This poem was written by an
Instructor in the Radio Training
School— A Marine— it came to
my attention quite a while ago
but neglectfulness on my part has
stopped its being printed before
this. The name of it is ‘‘Allegiance”.
December the 8th was a memora
ble day,
The President got up and had his
say,
WAR! WAR! Against the yellow
swine,
Who plunder and murder, then
toast with wine
Heartless men with ice for souls,
They’ve assumed the leading roles.
Cold and daring with ruthless
abound,
Their bombs explode with terrific
sound.
Pearl Harbor remains but a flam
ing mass,
Never was known such a holocaust.
REVENGE! REVENGE! The Pre
sident cried,
The Senate in Congress gasped
and sighed.
Mothers and Fathers held back
their tears.
Already they had aged many
years.
BLOOD! BLOOD! With all its
gore,
Soon was to take its awful score.
Then McArthur in the Philippines,
Fighting with men some in their
teens,
Taught those Japs a little respect.
Gave them a feeler as to what to
expect,
The fightingest bunch of men in
the world,
Who fought like Hell, while at
home we toiled.

Jeeps,
We knew this fight was really for
keeps.
The battle of Midway showed the
skunks,
They wern’t dealing with a lot
of punks.
Our Navy and Marines were be
ginning to click,
Our guns were roaring, planes fly
ing high,
As we battered the foe from earth
to sky.
Then Guadalcanal with all fts
glory,
Sure changed the tune of a horri
ble story.
The Japs were losing, ‘Twould be
a short time
E’er we destroyed the rotten slime.
One General who no longer could
tarry,
Became a dead hero by Hari Kari.
